Abstract

L'invention propose un cadran pour l'affichage du temps, par exemple pour une montre ou une horloge, comprenant 26 LEDs réparties sur un cercle et deux arcs de cercle. Sur le premier cercle sont réparties 12 LEDs, sur le deuxième arc de cercle 5 LEDs, et sur le troisième arc de cercle 9 LEDs. Dans un premier mode de fonctionnement, les 12 LEDs du premier cercle définissent les heures de 1 à 12, les 5 LEDs du deuxième arc de cercle les dizaines de la minute de 1 à 5 et les 9 LEDs du troisième arc de cercle les unités de la minute de 1 à 9. Dans un deuxième mode de fonctionnement, les 12 LEDs du premier cercle définissent le mois de l'année, trois des cinq LEDs du deuxième arc de cercle les dizaines de la date et les 9 LEDs du troisième arc de cercle les unités de la date.The invention proposes a dial for displaying time, for example for a watch or a clock, comprising 26 LEDs distributed over a circle and two arcs. 12 LEDs are distributed on the first circle, 5 LEDs on the second arc, and 9 LEDs on the third arc. In a first operating mode, the 12 LEDs of the first circle define the hours from 1 to 12, the 5 LEDs of the second arc of the circle the tens of the minute from 1 to 5 and the 9 LEDs of the third arc of the circle the units of the minute from 1 to 9. In a second operating mode, the 12 LEDs of the first circle define the month of the year, three of the five LEDs of the second arc of the circle the tens of the date and the 9 LEDs of the third arc of circle the units of the date.

Description

[0001] La présente invention concerne un nouveau mode de lecture de l'heure au Moyen de Leds ou de sources lumineuses activées électriquement et Disposées selon un nouveau concept dans un cadran de montre, d'horloge ou d'un écran De téléphone, d'ordinateur radio pilotées ou connectées. [0001] The present invention relates to a new mode of reading the time Means of LEDs or electrically activated light sources and Arranged according to a new concept in a watch face, clock or display Telephone, computer, radio controlled or connected.

[0002] Au moyen de 26 Leds ou sources lumineuses les heures, les minutes, la date du jour et du mois peuvent êtres affichés [0002] By means of 26 LEDs or light sources the hours, minutes, date of the day and month can be displayed

[0003] Les Leds sont placées dans un cercle et deux arcs de cercles sur le cadran ou l'écran Fig.1 vue en plan. Elles sont placées au bord du cadran de 1 à 12 pour les heures et les mois .1. Puis décalées vers l'intérieur de 1 à 5 pour les dizaines de minutes et les dizaines de jours .2. Et de nouveau décalées vers l'intérieur de 1 à 9 pour les minutes et les jours .3. Graphiquement le cadran est divisé en 4 parties par le chiffre 12 et par des traits reliant Les Leds à 3 ou 15 h Les Leds à 6 ou 18 h Les Leds à 9 ou 21 h Avec les dizaines de minutes et les minutes .4. Permettant une plus grande rapidité de lecture La partie visible des Leds peut être de forme ronde, triangulaire, carrée...5. Ce nouveau concept peut être associé à des écrans analogiques ou numériques. Il peut aussi, surtout pour les horloges fonctionner avec des Leds Fig. 2 Une glace ou verre transparent .1. protégera l'horloge ou la montre. Le cadran .2. sera percé pour les 26 Leds selon la forme désirée, ronde, triangulaire, carrée . [0003] The LEDs are placed in a circle and two arcs of circles on the dial or the screen Fig.1 plan view. They are placed at the edge of the dial from 1 to 12 for the hours and months.1. Then shifted inwards from 1 to 5 for tens of minutes and tens of days.2. And again shifted inwards from 1 to 9 for minutes and days.3. Graphically the dial is divided into 4 parts by the number 12 and by lines connecting LEDs at 3 or 3 p.m. LEDs at 6 or 6 p.m. LEDs at 9 or 9 p.m. With tens of minutes and minutes .4. Allowing greater speed of reading The visible part of the LEDs can be round, triangular, square, etc.5. This new concept can be associated with analog or digital screens. It can also, especially for clocks, work with LEDs Fig. 2 A mirror or transparent glass .1. will protect the clock or watch. The dial .2. will be drilled for the 26 LEDs according to the desired shape, round, triangular, square.

[0004] Il reste de la place sur le cadran pour intégrer des cellules solaires. [0004] There is still room on the dial to integrate solar cells.
